The Sundress Academy for the Arts is excited to present “The Intersection of Religion and Mental Health in Poetry,” a free virtual workshop led by Maya Williams on Wednesday, November 12th from 6:00-7:30 PM EST. sundressblog.com/2025/10/28/s...
Regardless of our religious, nonreligious, or spiritual worldview, the culture of religion continues to be an influence on people's mental health. We will look at poetry by Adrienne Novy, Eugenia Leigh, and Maya Williams to learn how suicidality, spiritual bypassing, and religious related trauma in poetics can impact us.

A prism, a dreamscape, and a river… Rogue Agent 127 is here! Featuring poetry by Barbara Daniels, Valarie Hastings, Elizabeth Sochko Hussain, Margaret Anne Kean, Susan Milchman, Emily Patterson, Sabyasachi Roy, Miriam Sagan, Julie Wong, and Joshua Zeitler. www.rogueagentjournal.com/issue127
The background is black and crimson. A white shape like a pen nib or a needle tip arises in the center. This white shape is covered with three red and diagonal stripes, as if the nib is wrapped in a red streamer, by abstract design in black, and by three triangular patches of color. The words “SHARP” and “EDGES” appear (in black font on a yellow background) on either side of the nib’s tip. A brown spiral hovers near the middle of the nib on its right side. The word “books” appears upside-down and reversed (and in white) at its center.
